Loved how big our site was! It was pretty flat and was next to the playground and easy to watch/supervise kids:)

Site was level and plenty of shade. Quick walk to the beach at the lake or the nearby bike trail. Pella is just down the road where you can find a small town with a Norwegian background, a nice historical museum, and a full size city block dedicated to historical building you can walk through. Tulip time is in the spring and there are tulips everywhere

Beautiful park, quiet during the week. It was just kind of a hike to get to the swimming beach.
